This link may only be useful to a select few who use 2d tracking in compositing. But of those few, they will find it an invaluable t00l.

Cheers for now.

Tabbed folder browsing and folder size detailed view! [Windows Tweak]

Two absolutely essential tools for windows

For literally years I have been searching for windows applications that could take the current archaic folder browser to a new level. Well if you too have been looking, look no further. QTtabBar and Folder size for windows are here to change your windows folder browsing experience.

I can’t see myself using windows without these applications any more.

QTtabBar:
This application has a HUGE list of options and windows browser tweaks. And the best part, 90% of them were on my personal wishlist.

Requirements: XP or Vista and Microsoft .NET framework 2.0 or later (Not needed for Vista)

.

.

Notable Features:

  • Tabbed folder browsing.
  • Functions similar to firefox tabs ( middle click functions to close and open new tab).
  • Renaming ‘F2′ un-selects the files extension for easy renaming.
  • Closed tab history.
  • Tab groups – Great for opening all the folders you need for a specific project you work on often.
  • Double click anywhere in the window browses up 1 folder (except clicking on a folder or file).
  • Mouseover images and documents displays a large thumbnail.
  • Transparency (better to disable with some open gl software though).
  • Folder and file name copying tools(Great for selecting a long list of files that you simply want to copy and paste to a list).
  • Open to plugin developement (here are some of the current plugins)
  • and much much more

Recommendation for 3d artists:

  • In “options>Misc>Enable’Sub folder tip’” Uncheck this option if you find your browser flickers overtop of an opengl software. Other than this, I have had zero compatibility or bug issues for 6 + months of use.

Folder size for Windows:
This simple app gives you the option to view folder and file size details in your windows browser detailed view.

Check both links for examples of the software.

Happy Browsing!
